非语言交际包括手势、表情、眼神或图表等。
语言交际包括口语(spoken language)和书面语(written language)。
在多数情况下,人们主要是通过口语进行交际。
口语交际的媒介是语音(speech sounds),也就是说人们通过声道(vocal track)发出的音来表达意义。
这种对语音的研究被叫做语音学(phonetics)。
口语交际是一个复杂的过程。
可以想象,当人们交际时,语音首先被说话者发出,然后,它在空气中被传递并被听话者接收。
也就是说,口语交际包括三个基本步骤:语音的发出→语音在空气中的传导→语音的接收。
根据这三个步骤, 语音研究也自然地分成三个主要研究领域。
对第一个步骤的研究是发声语音学(articulatory phonetics),研究语音的产生。
对第二个步骤的研究是声学语音学(acoustic phonetics),研究语音的物理特征。
对第三个步骤的研究是听觉语音学(auditory phonetics),研究和语音感知有关的内容。

戴版语言学Chapter One-——-IntroductionPart one---—What is linguistics?1. Definition—---linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language。
Scientific means it is based on the systematic investigation of linguistic data, conducted with reference to some general theory of language structure.No Article before language in this definition means that linguistics studies language in general。
Linguists' task:basically study and understand the general principles upon which all languages are built。
I nterest of linguists is “what is said”2. The scopes of linguisticsGeneral linguistics-—-—the study of language as a whole---——the core of linguistics Phonetics--—-the study of sounds used in linguistic communication.Phonology—-—-the study of how sounds are put together and used to convey meanings in communication.Morphology-———the study of the way in which the symbols are arranged and combined to form words。
●语言学家:1.F.de Saussure P4Swiss linguist. He distinct the langue and parole in the early 20thcentury <course in general linguistics>写了《普通语言学》强调研究语言(what linguist should do is to abstract langue from parole)2.N ChomskAmerican linguist distinct competence and performance in the late 1950s强调研究语言能力(competence)和索绪尔的相似点●Saussure和chomsky不同之处:索绪尔从社会学角度(sociological view)他的语言概念属于社会习俗范畴(social conventions);乔姆斯基是从心理学角度(Psychological view),认为语言能力是每个个体大脑的特征(property of mind of each individual)3.现代语言学基本上是描述性的(descriptive),传统语法是规定性的(prescriptive)4.现代语言学中共时性研究更重要(synchronic)Phonetics(语音学) Phonology(音位学)●发音器官1.pharyngeal cavity2.oral cavity3.nasal cavity●speech and writing are the two media or substances 言语和文字是自然语言的两种媒介和物质(言语比文字更加基础)●语音学从哪三个角度研究?(1)说话者角度articulatory phonetics 发声语音学(历史最悠久)(2)听话者角度auditory phonetics 听觉语音学(3)研究语音的传播方式acoustic phonetics 声学语音学●主要现在用IPA标音标,但是语言学家会用严式标音(narrowtranscription)书上举了两个字母的例子{l} leap,feel ,health {p} pit,spit (送气,不送气)p h来表送气●语音的分类:元音(voiced sound)和辅音●voiceless●元音的分类:(1)根据舌头哪一个部位最高,分为front、central、back(2)嘴巴的张合度,分为闭元音、半闭元音、半开元音、开元音(3)不圆唇的(所有前和中元音+{a:} )和圆唇的(rounded)后元音●Segment 和syllable 前面数有几个元音辅音;后面数有几个元音●语音学和音位学的区别(1)语音学家关注{l} 的发音,清晰舌边音和模糊舌边音(2)音位学家关注{l}分布模式,即在什么位置发这个音如{l} 在元音后或辅音前,发模糊舌边音feel、quilt{l}放在元音前发清晰的舌边音leap注意:Phonology is concerned with the sound system of a particular language.(关注某种语言的语音系统)Linguistics is the scientific study of human languages in general.一、区分音素,音位,音位变体●音素:phone(1)在单词feel[fi:ł],leaf[li:f],tar[tha:],star[sta:]中,一共有7个音素,分别是[f],[i:],[ł],[l],[th].[t],[a:].(2)英语共有48个音素,其中元音20个,辅音28个。
戴炜栋《简明语言学教程》配套笔记Chapter 1 What is language?[A] The origins of languageSome speculations of the origins of language:① The divine sourceThe basic hypothesis: if infants were allowed to grow up without hearing any language, then they would spontaneously begin using the original god-given language.Actually, children living without access to human speech in their early years grow up with no language at all.② The natural-sound sourceThe bow-wow theory: the suggestion is that primitive words could have been imitations of the natural sounds which early men and women heard around them.The “Yo-heave-ho” theory: the sounds produced by humans when exerting physical effort, especially when co-operating with other humans, may be the origins of speech sounds.Onomatopoeic sounds③ The oral-gesture sourceIt is claimed that originally a set of physical gestures was developed as a means of communication.The patterns of movement in articulation would be the same as gestural movement; hence waving tongue would develop from waving hand.④ Glossogenetics(言语遗传学)This focuses mainly on the biological basis of the formation and development of human language.Physiological adaptationàdevelop naming abilityàinteractions and transactionsPhysical adaptation:Human teeth are upright and roughly even in height.Human lips have intricate muscle interlacing, thus making them very flexible.The human mouth is small and contains a very flexible tongue.The human larynx is lowered, creating a longer cavity called the pharynx, and making it easier for the human to choke on the pieces of food, but making the sound speech possible.The human brain is lateralized. Those analytic functions (tool-using and language) are largely confined to the left hemisphere of the brain for most humans.Two major functions of language:Interactional: a social function of language.Transactional: a function involving the communication of knowledge and information[B] The properties of languageLanguage is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.a) System: combined together according to rulesb) Arbitrary: no intrinsic connection between the word “pen” and the thing in the world which it refers toc) V ocal: the primary medium is sound for all languagesd) Human: language is human-specific(交际性与信息性)Communicative vs. Informative:Communicative: intentionally using language to communicate somethingInformative: through/via a number of signals that are not intentionally sentDesign features (unique properties): the defining properties of human language that distinguish it from any animal system of communication① Displacement(跨时空性,移位性)Language can be used to refer to contexts removed from the immediate situations of the speaker (refer to past and future time and to otherlocations)② Arbitrariness(任意性)There is no logical or natural connection between a linguistic form (either sound or word) and its meaning.While language is arbitrary by nature, it is not entirely arbitrary.a) echo of the sounds of objects or activities: onomatopoeic wordsb) some compound words③ Productivity(能产性,创造性)Language is productive in that it makes possible the construction and interpretation of new signals by its users. (Creativity or open-endedness) ④ Cultural transition(文化传递性)While human capacity for language has a genetic basis (everyone was born with the ability to acquire a language), the details of any language system are not genetically transmitted, but instead have to be taught and learnt.⑤ Discreteness(可分离性)Each sound in the language is treated as discrete.⑥ Duality(双重结构性,两重性或二元性)Language is organized at two levels or layers simultaneously. The lower or basic level is a structure of sounds which are meaningless. The higher level is morpheme or word (double articulation)The above six properties may be taken as the core features of human language.V ocal-auditory channel, reciprocity, specialization, non-directionality, or rapid fade, these properties are best treated as ways of describing human language, but not as a means of distinguishing it from other systems of communication.[C] The development of written language① pictograms & ideograms(象形文字和表意文字)Pictogram: when some of the pictures came to represent particular images in a consistent way, we can begin to describe the product as a form of picture-writing, or pictograms.Ideogram: the picture developed as more abstract and used other than its entity is considered to be part of a system of idea-writing, or ideogram Hieroglyph: 古埃及象形文字② Logograms(语标书写法)When symbols come to be used to represent words in a language, they are described as examples of word-writing, or logograms. “Arbitrariness”—a writing system which was word-based had come into existence.Cuneiform--楔形文字—the Sumerians (5000 and 6000 years ago)Chinese is one example of its modern writing system.Advantages: two different dialects can be based on the same writing system.Disadvantages: vast number of different written forms.③ Syllabic writing(音节书写法)When a writing system employs a set of symbols which represent the pronunciations of syllables, it is described as syllabic writing.The Phoenicians: the first human beings that applied the full use of a syllabic writing system (ca 1000 BC)④ Alphabetic writing(字母书写法)Semitic languages (Arabic and Hebrew): first applied this ruleThe Greeks: taking the inherently syllabic system from the Phoenicians via the RomansLatin alphabet and Cyrillic alphabet (Slavic languages)⑤ Rebus writingRobus writing evolves a process whereby the symbol used for an entity comes to be used for the sound of the spoken word used for that entity.Chapter 2 What is linguistics?[A] The definition of linguisticsLinguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language.Process of linguistic study:① Certain linguistic facts are observed, generalization are formed;② Hypotheses are formulated;③ Hypotheses are tested by further observations;④ A linguistic theory is constructed.Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication.[B] The scope of linguisticsGeneral linguistics: the study of language as a wholePhonetics: the general study of the characteristics of speech sounds (or the study of the phonic medium of language) (How speech sounds are produced and classified)Phonology: is essentially the description of the systems and patterns of speech sounds in a language. (How sounds form systems and function to convey meaning)Morphology: the study of the way in which morphemes are arranged to form words (how morphemes are combined to form words)Syntax: the study of those rules that govern the combination of words to form permissible sentences (how morphemes and words are combined to form sentences)Semantics: the study of meaning in abstractionPragmatics: the study of meaning in context of useSociolinguistics: the study of language with reference to societyPsycholinguistics: the study of language with reference to the workings of the mindApplied linguistics: the application of linguistics principles and theories to language teaching and learningAnthropological linguistics, neurological linguistics; mathematical linguistics; mathematical linguistics; computational linguistics[C] Some important distinctions in linguistics① Prescriptive vs. Descriptive ② Synchronic vs. Diachronic③ Speech and writing The description of a language at some point in time;Spoken language is primary, not the written The description of a language as it changes through time.\④ Langue and paroleProposed by Swiss linguists F. de Sausse (sociological)Langue: refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech communityParole: refers to the realization of langue in actual use⑤ Competence and performanceProposed by the American linguist N. Chomsky (psychological)Competence: the ideal user’s knowledge of the rules of his languageChapter 3 Phonetics and phonology[A] The definition of phoneticsPhonetics: the study of the phonic medium of language: it is concerned with all the sounds that occur in t he world’s languages.Articulatory phonetics: the study of how speech sounds are made, or articulated.Acoustic phonetics: deals with the physical properties of speech as sound waves in the air.Auditory (or perceptual) phonetics: deals with the perception, via the ear, of speech sounds.Forensic phonetics: has an application in legal cases involving speaker identification and the analysis of recorded utterances.[B] Organs of speechV oiceless: when the vocal cords are spread apart, the air from the lungs passes between them unimpeded.V oiced: when the vocal cords are drawn together, the air from the lungs repeated pushes them apart as it passes through, creating a vibration effect.All the English vowels are typically voiced (voicing).The important cavities:The pharyngeal cavityThe oral cavityThe nasal cavityLips, teeth, teeth ridge (alveolus), hard palate, soft palate (velum), uvula, tip of tongue, blade of tongue, back of tongue, vocal cords[C] Orthographic representation of speech soundsBroad and narrow transcriptionsIPA (International Phonetic Alphabet/Association)Broad transcription: the transcription with letter-symbols onlyNarrow transcription: the transcription with diacriticsE.g.:[l]à[li:f]--à a clear [l] (no diacritic)[l]à[bild]--àa dark [l] (~)[l]à[helW]--àa dental [l] ( )[p]à[pit]--àan aspirated [ph](h)[p]à[spit]--àan unaspirated [p] (no diacritic)[n]à[5bQtn]àa syllabic nasal [n] (7)[D] Classification of English consonantsIn terms of manner of articulation (the manner in which obstruction is created)① Stops: the obstruction is total or complete, and then going abruptly[p]/[b], [t]/[d], [k]/[g]② Fricatives: the obstruction is partial, and the air is forced through a narrow passage in the month[f]/[v], [s]/[z], [W]/[T], [F]/[V], [h] (approximant)③ Affricates: the obstruction, complete at first, is released slowly as in fricatives[tF]/[dV]④ Liquids: the airflow is obstructed but is allowed to escape through the passage between part or parts of the tongue and the roof of the mouth[l]àa lateral sound; [r]à retroflex⑤ Glides: [w], [j] (semi-vowels)Liquid + glides + [h]à approximants⑥ Nasals: the nasal passage is opened by lowering the soft palate to let air pass through it[m], ], [] [By place of articulation (the place where obstruction is created)① bilabials: upper and lower lips are brought together to create obstructions[p]/[b], [w]à(velar)② labiodentals: the lower lip and the upper teeth[f]/[v]③ dentals: the tip of the tongue and the upper front teeth[W]/[T]④ alveolars: the front part of the tongue on the alveolar ridge[t]/[d], [s]/[z], [n], [l], [r]⑤ alveo-palatals (palato-alveolars): tongue and the very front of the palate, near the alveolar ridge[F]/[V], [t]/[d]⑥ palatal: tongue in the middle of the palate[j]⑦ velars: the back of the tongue against the velum[k], [g], [N] … [w]⑧ glottals: the glottal is the space between the vocal cords in the larynx[h][E] Classification of English vowelsFronti: Central BackClose i `u:uSemi-close e E:Semi-open E C:Open AB Q RB:① The highest position of the tongue: front, central, back;② The openness of the mouth: close, semi-close, semi-open, open;③ The roundness (shape) of the month (the lips):All the front, central vowels are unrounded vowels except [B]All the back vowels, except [A:] are rounded vowels④ The length of the sound: long vowels & short vowelsCardinal vowelsLarynx à (tense) or (lax)Monophthongs, diphthongs[F] The definition of phonologyPhonetics is interested in all the speech sounds used in all human languages; how they are produced, how they differ from each other, what phonetic features they possess, how they can be classified, etc.Phonology, on the other hand, is interested in the system of sounds of a particular languages; it aims to discover how speech sounds in a language form patterns and how these sounds are used to convey meaning in linguistic communication.[G] Phone, phoneme, and allophonePhone: the different versions of the abstract unit – phonemePhoneme: the mean-distinguishing sound in a language, placed in slash marksAllophone: a set of phones, all of which are versions of one phoneme[G] Phonemic contrast, complementary distribution, and minimal pairPhonemic contrast: when two phonemes can occur in the same environments in two words and they distinguish meaning, they’re in phonemic contrast.E.g. pin & bin à /p/ vs. /b/ rope & robe à /p/ vs. /b/Complementary distribution: two or more than two allophones of the same phonemes are said to be in complementary distribution because they can not appear at the same time, or occur in different environment, besides they do not distinguish meaning.Minimal pair: when two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two sounds are said to form a minimal pair.When a group of words can be differentiated, each one from the others, by changing one phoneme (always in the same position), then all of these words constitute a minimal sets.[H] Some rules in phonology① sequential rulesSyllableOnset rimeNucleus coda[Consonant] vowel [consonant(s)]Phonotactics of 3Cs occurring in onset:No1:___/s/___voiceless stops: /p/, /t/, /k/___approximants: /r/, /l/, /w/, /j/No2:The affricates [tF]/[dV] and the sibilants [s], [z], [F], [V] are not to be followed by another sibilants.② assimilation rulesCo-articulation effects: the process of making one sound almost at the same time as the next is called co-articulation.Assimilation & elision effectsAssimilation: two phonemes occur in sequence and some aspect of one phoneme is taken or copied by the otherE.g. nasalize a vowel when it is followed by a nasal sound.③ deletion rule-ElisionDefinition: the omission of a sound segment which would be present in deliberate pronunciation of a word in isolationE.g. delete a [g] when it occurs before a final nasal consonant[I] Suprasegmental features① StressWord stress & sentence stressThe stress of the English compounds always on the first element② ToneDefinition: Tones are pitch variations, which are caused by the differing rates of vibration of the vocal cords.Pitch variations can distinguish meaning just like morphemes.Tone language, like Chinese, has four tones.Level, rise, fall-rise, fall③ IntonationWhen pitch, stress and sound length are tied to the sentence rather than the word in isolation, they are collectively known as intonation. English: the four basic types of intonation, or the four tonesThe falling tone, the rising tone, the fall-rising tone, and the rise-fall toneChapter 4 Morphology[A] The definition of morphologyMorphology is a branch of grammar which studies the internal structure of words and the rules by which words are formed. Inflectional morphologyDerivational morphology (lexical morphology)Morpheme: the smallest meaningful components of words(A minimal unit of meaning or grammatical function)[B] Free morphemes & bound morphemesFree morphemes: can stand by themselves as single wordsà Lexical morphemes [n.a.v] & functional morphemes [conj.prep.art.pron.]Bound morphemes: can not normally stand alone, but which are typically attached to another formà Derivational morphemes----àaffix (suffix, infix, prefix) + rootà Inflectional morphemes à 88 types of inflectional morphemes in EnglishNoun+ -’s, -s [possessive; plural]Verb+ -s, -ing, -ed, -en [3rd person present singular; present participle; past tense, past participle]Adj+ -er, -est [comparative; superlative][C] Derivational vs. inflectionalInflectional morphemes never change the grammatical category of a wordInflectional morphemes influence the whole category;Derivational morphemes are oppositeOrder: root (stem) + derivational + inflectional[D] Morphological RulesN. +lyà a.; A. +lyà adv.; guard overgeneralization[E] Morphs and allomorphsMorphs: the actual forms used to realize morphemesAllomorphs: a set of morphs, all of which are versions of one morpheme, we refer to them as allomorphs of that morpheme.[F] Word-formation process① Coinageàthe invention of totally new terms② Borrowingàthe taking over of words form other languagesLoan-translation (Claque)à a direct translation of the elements of a word into the borrowing languageStand alone to be the opposite of word-formation③ Compoundingà a joining of two separate words to produce a single formFeatures of compoundsa)Orthographically, a compound can be written as one word, with or without a hyphen in between, or as two separate words.b)Syntactically, the part of speech of the compound is generally determined by the part of speech of the second element.c)Semantically, the meaning of a compound is often idiomatic, not always being the sum total of the meanings of its components.d)Phonetically, the stress of a compound always falls on the first element,While the second element receives secondary stress.④ Blendingà taking over the beginning of one word and joining it to the end of other word⑤ Clippingà a word of more than one syllable reduced to a shorter form⑥ Back formationà a process by which new words are formed by taking away the suffix of an existing word Hypocorismsàclipping or +ie⑦ Conversionà category change, functional shift⑧ Acronymsà new words are formed from the initial letters of a set of other words⑨ Derivationà the new words are formed by the addition of affixes to the roots, stems, or words⑩ Abbreviationà a shortened form of a word or phrase which represents the complete formAnalogyChapter 5 Grammar[A] Types of grammarThe study of grammar, or the study of the structure of expressions in a language, has a very long tradition.①Mental grammar: a form of internal linguistic knowledge which operates in the production and recognition of appropriately structured expressions in that language. à Psychologist② Linguistic etiquette: the identification of the proper or best structures to be used in a language. à Sociologist③ The study and analysis of the structures found in a language, with the aim of establishing a description of the grammar of English, e.g. as distinct from the grammar of Russia or French. à Linguist[B] The parts of speechNouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns, conjunctionsà the grammatical categories of words in sentences[C] Traditional grammar (Categories and analysis)Other categories: number, person, tense, voice and genderAgreement:English languageßnatural genderGrammatical genderà French[D] Types of grammar concerning analysisThe prescriptive approach: The view of grammar as a set of rules for the proper use of a languageThe descriptive approach: analysts collect samples of the language they are interested in and attempt to describe the regular structures of the language at it is used, not according to some view of how it should be used.[E] Structural and immediate constituent analysis (IC Analysis)Structural analysis: to investigate the distinction of forms (e.g. morphemes) in a languageIC Analysis: how small constituents (Components) in sentences go together to form larger constituents[F] Labeled and bracketed sentencesHierarchical organization of the constituents in a sentenceLabel each constituent with grammatical terms such as Art. N. NPChapter 6 Syntax[A] The definition of syntaxA subfield of linguistics that studies the sentence structure of language[B] The basic components of a sentenceSentenceSubject PredicateReferring expression comprises finite verb or a verb phrase and says something about the subject[C] Types of sentencesSimple sentence: consists of a single clause which contains a subject and a predicate and stands alone as its own sentence.Coordinate (C ompound) sentence: contains two clauses joined by a linking word called coordinating conjunctions, such as “and”, “by”, “or”…Complex sentence: contains two, or more, clauses, one of which is incorporated into the otherEmbedded clauseßà matrix clause① subordinator ②f unctions as a grammatical unit ③ may be complete[D] The linear and hierarchical structures of sentencesWhen a sentence is uttered or written down, the words of the sentence are produced one after another in a sequence, which suggests the structure of a sentence is linear.But the superficial arrangement of words in a linear sequence does not entail that sentences are simply linearly-structured; sentences are organized with words of the same syntactic category, such as NP or VP, grouped together.Tree diagram of constituent structureBrackets and subscript labels[E] Some categoriesSyntactic categories: refer to a word or a phrase that performs a particular grammatical function, such as the subject or the predicateLexical categories: (parts of speech)Major lexical categories (open categories):N.

Answer the following questions briefly.1.What features does human language have, which can not be foundin animal communication system?2.Why is spoken language given priority to written language inmodern linguistics?3.What are the features of modern linguistics?第二章语音学一、导读2.1 语音研究人类交际包括两种形式:语言交际(linguistic communication) 和非语言交际(paralinguistic communication)。
非语言交际包括手势、表情、眼神或图表等。
语言交际包括口语(spoken language)和书面语(written language)。
在多数情况下,人们主要是通过口语进行交际。
口语交际的媒介是语音(speech sounds),也就是说人们通过声道(vocal track)发出的音来表达意义。
这种对语音的研究被叫做语音学(phonetics)。
口语交际是一个复杂的过程。
可以想象,当人们交际时,语音首先被说话者发出,然后,它在空气中被传递并被听话者接收。
也就是说,口语交际包括三个基本步骤:语音的发出→语音在空气中的传导→语音的接收。
根据这三个步骤, 语音研究也自然地分成三个主要研究领域。
对第一个步骤的研究是发声语音学(articulatory phonetics),研究语音的产生。
对第二个步骤的研究是声学语音学(acoustic phonetics),研究语音的物理特征。
对第三个步骤的研究是听觉语音学(auditory phonetics),研究和语音感知有关的内容。

戴炜栋《简明语⾔学教程》配套笔记3Chapter 12 PsycholinguisticsThe study of language in relation to the mindP.S. some of the following discussed sometimes fall into the scope of neurolinguistics and sociolinguistics, esp. concerning the structure of the brain.[A] The biological foundations of languageHuman linguistic ability largely depends on the structure and dynamics of the human brain, rather than, the structure of the vocal cords.Neuronsàcerebral cortexàhemisphereBrain lateralization (specific to human beings): the left hemisphere has primary responsibility for language, while the right hemisphere controls visual and spatial skills as well as the perception of nonlinguistic sounds and musical melodies.The localization of cognitive and perceptual functions in a particular hemisphere of the brain is called lateralization.[B] Linguistic lateralizationLeft hemispheric dominance for language, this hypothesis has been proved by Dichotic listening research(两⽿分听试验)The sound presented in the right ear goes directly to the left brain. The sound heard in the left ear, on the other hand, must first go to the right hemisphere, from where it is transferred to the left side of the brain for processing.Right ear advantage:(右⽿优势)it appears to exist primarily for linguistic stimuli, both meaningful and nonsensical.[C] The language centers①Broca’s area (French surgeon and anatomist): The frontal lobe in the left cerebral hemisphere damaged extreme difficulty in producing speech;[Speech production deficit] word-finding difficulties and problems with syntax②Wernicke’s area (German physician, 1874): Strengthened Broca’s claim, and generated intense interest in the hypothesis that different areas within the left hemisphere fulfill different linguistic functions[Speech comprehension deficit] difficult in understanding speech (posterior speech cortex)③The angular gyrus(⾓形脑回): It is responsible for converting a visual stimulus into an auditory form and vice versaThe word is heard and comprehended via Wernicke’s area. This signal is then transferred via the arcuate fasciculus to Broca’s area (the angular gyrus), where preparations are made to produce it. A signal is then sent to the motor cortex to physically articulate the word.④language perception, comprehension and production[D] The critical period for language acquisitionßneurobiologist Eric LennebergIt refers to a period in one’s life extending from about two to puberty, during which the human brain is most ready to acquire a particular language and language learning can proceed easily, swiftly, and without explicit instruction.Language faculty of an average human degenerates after the critical period.{Language can be acquired after the critical period.}[E] Early views on language and thoughtMentalistà thought and language were identical, proposed by PlatoEmpiricistà languages were signs of psychological experiences (Aristotle)Bloomfield, American psychologist, founder of Behaviorism, supported the mentalist: thinking was a system of movements that had been reduced from actual speech to the point where they were no longer visible.Violates the following two phenomena:Non-speaking humansà display complex thought processI didn’t mean to say thatThe Sapir-Whorf hypothesis: (the American anthropologist-linguist Edward Sapir and his student Benjamin Lee Whorf)“We cut nature up, organize it into concepts, and ascribe significance as we do, largely because we are parties to an agreement to organize it in this way—an agreement that holds throughout our speech community and is codified in the patterns of our language.”Linguistic determination—the strong notion: Language determines thoughtLinguistic relativism—speakers of different language perceive and experience the world differently, i.e. relative to their linguistic backgroundThis hypothesis appears plausible, but its strong version has very few adherents today.Whorf did not only depend too heavily on the literal use of words but also on grammatical structure.The weaker version is accepted. Language may be used to provide ideas, bring about a change in beliefs and values, solve problems, and keep track of things in memory. Language does influence the perceptions, memory tasks, and other verbal and nonverbal behavior of human beings by its convenience, availability, and habitual use.[F] Argues for and against the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis①Words and meaning: Relation is arbitrary; without the particular words of snow doesn’t mean he can not perceive differences in varieties of snow…②Grammatical structureMany grammatical features of a language are purely superficial aspects of linguistic structure. They don’t have the kind of interdependent relationship with the perceptual system of the speakers of that language. (Grammatical gender)③TranslationSuccessful translation between languages can be made.That he (Sapir) can explain/describe Hopi concepts in English for an average English speaker to understand easily fully proves that translation can be obtained.④Second language acquisitionBilingualism: have a consistent conceptual-perceptual system of the physical world. Don’t have to have double minds.⑤language and world viewsPeople who use the same language may have different world views.People who use different languages may have the similar world views.One language can describe many different world views.[G] Understanding the relationship between language and thought①functions of language:Interpersonal communication: convey information, thoughts, feelings from one to anotherIntrapersonal communication: language facilitates thinking, speech behavior, and action for the individualHalliday: ideational, interpersonal and textual functionsa) Informativeb) Interpersonal function(1) Performative function(2) Emotive function(3) Expressive function(4) Phatic functionc) Recreational functiond) Metalingual function②Language and thought may be viewed as two independent circles overlapping in some parts.When language and thought are identical or closely paralleled to each other, we may regard thought as “subvocal speech”, and speech as “overt thought”Nonverbal signals: facial expression_r_rs, grimaces, gestures, postures, or proxemic space can be used to express thoughts.The relationship between the coding system of language on the one hand and the conceptualizing system of thought on the other is conventional rather than genetic. Bilingual speakers switch between the two languages concerned, not converting one mode of thinking into the other, but rather, making transition between the two linguistic coding systems.Chapter 13 First Language Acquisition (FLA)Language acquisition refers to children’s development of their first language, that is, the native language of the community in which a child has been brought up (naturally and successfully).[A] The biological basis of language acquisitionWhat is meant by the biological, or nativist, view of language acquisition is that human are equipped with the neural perquisites for language and language use, just as birds are biologically “prewired” to learn the songs of their species.No language is inferior, or superior, to any other language.No single human is a better or worse language acquire than any other human.Different languages have a similar level of complexity and detail, and reflect general abstract properties of the common linguistic system called the Universal Grammar (UG).[B] Language acquisition as the acquisition of grammatical rulesBefore 5, knowing most of the intricate grammatical system of their native languageWhat is acquired is not a bunch of utterances but a set of rules, conditions, and elements (fundamental grammatical rules) that allow one to speak and understand speech.[C] The role of input and interaction, instruction, correction and reinforcement, imitation①the role of input and interactionGenetic predisposition + an appropriate linguistic environmentAccess to language data and opportunities to interact with the inputModified speechßrelationshipà language acquisitionCaretaker speech (babytalk, motheress, or parentese): without it doesn’t mean acquiring language slowlyAdvantages: 1) help heighten its comprehensibility2) make it easier for children to match linguistic forms with their meanings②the role of instruction“Children learn to speak because adults teach them to speak.”1) this view overestimates what adults can do, and at the same time2) this view underestimates what children can do, and what they actually doChildren require little conscious instruction. Parents often fail their attempt to teach children grammatical rules, and only playing a minor role at best③the role of correction and reinforcementAssumption 1: children received constant correction for using a “bad” grammar and rewards when using a “good” grammar Assumption 2: children learnt to produce sentence because they were positively reinforced when they said something right and negatively reinforced when they said something wrong.Behaviorist learning theoryàa child’s verbal behavior was conditioned through association between a stimulus and a relevant response.Correction plays a minor role; even when syntactic correction does occur, children often do not know what the problem is and are unable to make corrections.④the role of imitationThe hypothesis that children learnt language by simply imitating the speech of those around them is not true.A more reasonable explanation is that: children are attempting to construct and generalize their own grammatical rules. Besides, children who cannot speak can learn the language spoken to them and understand what is said.Children don’t blindly mimic adult speech in a parrot fashion, but rather exploit it in very restricted ways to improve their linguistic skills[D] Stages of first language acquisitionIn general, children begin uttering their first words sometimes during the second year of life. During the following 4 to 5 years, linguistic development occurs quite rapidly.①the prelinguistic stage (babbling age)3 months: /k/, /u/3-4 months: babbling speech like sounds6 months: able to sit up; produce a number of different vowels and consonants (meaningless), deaf baby, baby born of non-speaking deaf parents also babble②the one-word stageàholophrastic sentences2 year-old: use one word to serve a naming function, to refer to familiar people, toys, pets, drinks and objects in the child’s environment, indicate certain actions and demands, or convey emotions.Simple nouns and verbsVery few functional words such as prep., art., and aux. verbsChoose the most informative word that applies to the situation being commented uponOverextension (underextension of reference): use the same word for things that have a similar appearance③the multiword stage2-3 year-old: the salient feature of the utterances at this stage ceases to be the number of words, but the variation in strings of lexical morphemes (telegraphic speech)Lacking grammatical morphemes, but following the principles of sentence formation [make no word order errors at this stage]5 year-old: has an operating vocabulary of more than 2000 words[E] The development of grammatical system①the development of phonologyThe emergence of articulatory skills begins around the age when children start to produce babbling sounds.Children first acquire the sounds found in all languages of the world, and in later stages acquire the “more difficult” sounds. Certain sounds that occur in babbling are lost when children began to speak the language, and then reappear at a later stage: /l/ and /r/②the development of syntaxChildren’s early language is not only semantically based, but also makes reference to syntactic categories, and grammatical relations.Two-word stage: noun-like element + predicate-like elementThen, add functional words as well as inflectional and derivational morphemes of the language-ing, in, on, the regular plural ending “-s”Negative sentences: no/all gone /// negative words occur at the beginning of expression_r_rs /// insert the negative “no”,“can’t” or “don’t” inside the sentence, usually between subject and the predicateEnglish questions have developed in the similar way, in an interrelated way with the development of the auxiliary verb system③the development of morphologyBeyond the telegraphic stage: incorporate some of the inflectional morphemes1st one: -ing; 2nd one: marking of regular plurals with the “-s” form (overgeneralization); 3rd one: -ed rule to all verbs; begin to learn both regular and irregular forms as individual words④the development of vocabulary of semanticsThe first two years: 50-100 wordsSemantic referent to a word expands: overgeneralizationThe age of two and a half years: vocabulary is expanding rapidlyThe age of three: hundreds of wordsConnection between a word and its denotative meaning is more like that of adult languageBy five: 4.6 words per sentenceIncrease of about 25 words per dayThe age of six: 7800 wordsà English-speaking school childrenBy the age of eight: 17600 words or 28300 including derived formsIn general, children have virtually acquired the basic fabric of their native language at the age of five or six.Per-school years are crucial period for first language acquisition.Chapter 14 Second language Acquisition/Learning[A] Acquisition v. learningAcquisition: refers to the gradual development of ability in a language by using it naturally in communicative situations; or the gradual and subconscious development of ability in the first language by using it naturally in daily communicative situations (by American SLA scholar Stephen Krashen)Learning: refers to a conscious process of accumulating knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar of a language, usually obtained in school setting.[B] Transfer and interferenceTransfer: while learning the target language consciously or unconsciously, learners will subconsciously use their L1knowledge in learning a second language.Positive or negativeInterference (negative transfer) was once believed to be the major source of difficulties experienced and errors made by L2 learners.Contrastive analysis: establish the linguistic differences between the native and target language systems, to predict problems and errors[Old view]: L2 errors were predominantly the result of negative transfer, or mother tongue interference. Thus, learning a L2 is always to overcome the differences.Empirical investigation:3%àinterference errors, 85%àdevelopmental errors[New view]: L2 learning is a process of contracting and modifying rules of communication[C] Error analysis and the natural route of SLA developmentThere was supposed to be a universal route in L2 learning because negative transfer is not the major factor in SLA as it was once assumed to be.L2=L1 hypothesis: the process of SLA and FLA are very similar.This was investigated through the analysis of learner errors. There are striking similarities in the ways in which different L2 learners acquire a new language.L2 learners follow broadly similar routes, although minor differences exist due to variable learner factors and learning situations.[D] Interlanguage and fossilizationInterlanguage: the language that a learner constructs at a given stage of SLA. It consists of a series of interlocking and approximate linguistic systems in between and yet distinct from the learner’s native and target languages. Fossilization: it was once assumed that learners’ Interlanguage would develop gradually in the direction of the target language competence if provided with sufficient and the right kind of language exposure and interaction. But most L2 learners failed to reach the end-point of the interlanguage continuum and acquire the native-like competence in the target language.Explanation: learns’ interlanguage fossilized some way short of target language competence while the internalized rule system contained rules that are different from those of the target language system.Chinese sound /d/àEnglish /W/, /T/; he for he or sheThe use of the present tense form for a past tense verb3rd person singular form without “s”[E] The role of input and formal instruction①SLA takes place only when the learner has access to L2 input and the opportunity to interact with the input. Input may take the form of exposure in natural settings or formal instruction, either spoken or written; optimum input is needed.Comprehensible input: the use of learned structures and vocabulary, the linguistic and extralinguistic contexts of the input data, and the learner’s general knowledge to interpret new language items.Two very important kinds of input methods:Interaction: taking parting in communication activitiesIntake: the input that is assimilated and fed into the interlanguage system②in general, studies of the effects of formal instruction support the hypothesis that instruction aids SLAL2 learners are much more likely to obtain comprehensible input in the intake-type environment of a classroom setting, other than in the exposure-type environment of a natural setting.Casual and spontaneous conversation helps a little, while planned speech, writing or career-oriented examination help a lot.[F] Individual leaner factors like age, motivation, acculturation and personalityThe rate and ultimate success in SLA are affected not only by learner’s experience with optimal input and instruction, but also by individual learner factors.①the optimum age for second language acquisitionAdolescents: quicker and more effective L2 learners than young childrenWhy: the learner’s flexibility of the language acquisition faculty has not been completely lost while one’s cognitive skills have developed considerably to facilitate the processing of linguistic features of a new language.②motivationMotivation: the learner’s overall goal and orientationInstrumental motivation: learner’s goal is functional (功能性学习动机)Integrative motivation: learner’s goal is social (介⼊性学习动机)③acculturation(⽂化移⼊,⽂化适应)It has some relation with integrative motivation, the extent to which learners differ in the process of adapting to the new culture of the L2 community. This adaptation process is called acculturationThe learning of a second language involves, and is dependent on, the acquisition of the culture of the target language community.The acculturation hypothesis states simply that the more a person aspires to acculturate to the community of the target language, the further he or she will progress along the developmental continuum, but focuses not so much on the actual processing of the second language as on the social and psychological conditions under which L2 processing is most likely to take place successfully.④personalityOutgoing personality may contribute to language acquisitionExtrovertedßàintrovertedResearch results lead only partial support to this hypothesis.Oral fluency, not overall proficiency in a second languageIn general, a good second language learner is, among other things, an adolescent who has a strong and well-defined motivation to learn, who is able to respond and adaptable to different learning situations, who seeks out all opportunities and makes maximum use of them to interact with the input, who employs appropriate learning strategies, and who is willing to identify himself or herself with the culture of the target language community.。
Chapter 1 Introduction
What is linguistics? 什么是语言学
[A] The definition of linguistics
Linguistics is generally defined as the scientific study of language (对语言进行的科学研究)
Process of linguistic study:
① Certain linguistic facts are observed, generalization are formed;
② Hypotheses are formulated;
③ Hypotheses are tested by further observations;
④ A linguistic theory is constructed.
[B] The scope of linguistics General linguistics普通语言学: the study of language as a whole从整体研究
1.Phonetics: the general study of the characteristics of speech sounds (or the study of the phonic medium of language) (How speech sounds are produced and classified)
2.Phonology: is essentially the description of the systems and patterns of speech sounds in a language.(How sounds form systems and function to convey meaning)
3.Morphology: the study of the way in which morphemes are arranged to form words (how morphemes are combined to form words)
4.Syntax: the study of those rules that govern the combination of words to form permissible sentences (how morphemes and words are combined to form sentences)
5.Semantics: the study of meaning in abstraction
6.Pragmatics: the study of meaning in context of use
Sociolinguistics: the study of language with reference to society
Psycholinguistics: the study of language with reference to the workings of the mind
Applied linguistics: the application of linguistics principles and theories to language teaching and learning Anthropological linguistics, neurological linguistics; mathematical linguistics; mathematical linguistics; computational linguistics
[C] Some important distinctions in linguistics
① Prescriptive vs. Descriptive 规定性与描写性
② Synchronic vs. Diachronic 共时性与历时性(现代英语多研究共时性)
The description of a language at some point in time;
The description of a language as it changes through time.
③ Speech and writing 言语与文字
Spoken language is primary, not the written
④ Langue and parole 语言和言语
Proposed by Swiss linguists F. de Sausse (sociological)。
